DR, ' MOFFETTS ULTIMATUM

At I o'clock the following day. Captain Summers walked into a res- turant 1n the Washington Square sec- tlon and grumplly sat down at the table lri the rear.

"Soup, veal outlet, coflee-—make ll: snappy," he growled at. the waiter. The soup came and he consumed lt with a. grim and petulant sir. as if It, irritated his esophangus. l-Ie attacked the veal outlet savagelypas if to vent. his lll humor on it. Sud- denly he looked up.

"Hello Summers," drswled s. familiar voice, Summers stared. I-lLs eyes pro-

truded, his lips hung slack. “Say, where 1n the name of ssm Hill did youcome from?" His voice

tatlon.

“I-lome," said Dale. He dusted the seat. with the napkin and sat down with one 0f his little flourishes. He. looked fresh and keen and without a care_ “Don't look at. me lke that, old socks. I am full of serenty and

lng to inject gloom into my soul. Waiter!"

I-Ie studied the card carefully and gave his order.

"I've had men out. looking for yon all morning," said Summers weakly. "Too bad. Had I known it, i. should have communicated with you. Anything special?"

Summers swallowed hard. His emotions seemed too deep for words. In the end he resorted to heavy sarcasm.

"Oh, no-nothirig special. Just. wanted to llsf-cn to your bright pat- ter and ask n question or two." “For instance?"

"Well. I was Just curious to know where you spent the hours between 2 o'clock and sunrise."

had Just arrived and nodded ap- proval. “Let. me see. I spent the evening at a. roof garden. Dread- ful bore! Take my advice and don't spend your hard-earned money to see

spin out, to City Island. Wonderful moonlight effects over the water! You should have been along, you frostbltten old sour face, The sight would have mellowed your crusty temper."

"Yeah?" Summers jeered tcebly “Tell me about the moon. Maybe you; description of it will do me as much good as if I had seen the whole ‘blame show."

“I fear I can't do it justice. A sight of that sort; requires a poet's wonderful touch. A measureless ex- panse of water rlpplylng gently be- neath a silver shimmer. A luminous track extending seaward. A ship in the distance, a ghostly blur 0n the horizon. The magic and sorcery o1 the lunar radiance. No, Summers, words fall me. I can't do lt."

"Oh, try again," Summers en- couraged, "You might be s. little more explicit. Was It I full moon, a. three quarters moon. or what?"

“Three quarters. Of course. I didn't measure tt-"

"I guess you didn't," Aid Summers dryly. He wok l swallow or coffee. "And the reason you didn't wla that; there was no moon to measure. It was cloudy last night."

Dale's fork paused in the act: of conveying a segment of omelet to his mouth. His eyes narrowed slightly. "That's curious. I'm sure there were-no clouds where I was." "No? Well, go on. What, dld you do after that?"

"I was wide awake, so I drove around a blt. seeking unfrequented highways. Ever feel a craving for solitude, Summe ? Thai: Wu how I felt. last night. So I drove and drove. and the first thing I knew the engnlc began to sputter and my tank was dry. At that hour there wu no service station open within nillsa, so I parked the car along the rondllde. snuggled up ln the back not. ‘ltd slept."

"And then?"

"You don't say? Well, what: next?"

"Then-Mien I went home. That Wu only an hour and s half ago. I found my rooms ln great. disorder- My man Bllklns was beside himself. Summers, old dear. next time you wish to amuse yourself by searching my humble dlgglngs, I wish you wouldn't. be qlilte a0 - disorderly, I detest; confusion."

"Sorry? said Summers aarcaatfcal- 1y. "Well, you've worked out a. great little alibi, Dale. Barring the moon. of course. ‘Phat was n mistake."

"Alibi?" asked Dale innocently.

"Well, I'm, not; saying much, but I ,am doing a lot. of hard thinking." frle lowered his head and gazied lcraftlly across the table. "The Pleis- roon cut loose last night again."

"You don't. say!"

"He was in one of his queer get- ‘ ups-one I'd seen him in before.”

"One of his famous disguises. eh?"

"Well, it isn't disguise so much as actlng-mharacter stuff, you know. The Plcaroori ls great at that." ‘ "So I have heard. What. time dld ' it happen?"

"Oh," about the time you were seeing the moon through a sky full ,0! black clouds."

"There you g0. Summers!" Dale puckered his lips in mock disall- iproval. "Always suspicious! But bell me about the Plcaroon."

Summers dld. and he studledDsle as he spoke. But Dale's face showed only frank and honest interest, with a little sympathy added at the end.

“Too bad, Summers! So the scala- way got away from younglln? And you say he took the rope of pesi-ls with him. Well, well! But: cheer up; old dear. You will get. hm oi-ic of these days."

"You beta I wllll The captain's menacing gaze hung darkly on Dale's face. "And you'll he there to con- gratulate me. I almost had hlm last , night, but my mind slipped for a mo- i merit when he pulled that stuff about ‘Miss Conway on the caretaker, Axe!- .son looked as if p, ghost hsd tickled lihlm in the ribs, and I-—well. a. m0-

merit was all the Plcaroon needed."

"He seems to have made good use of it. You say he pitched Axelsori out the window to distract your attention from himself." Dale gave a. clear. hearty laugh of sheer amusement. "And then, I suppose. he escaped up the stairs and over the roof." Dslc laughed again.

"Oh, Iaughl" ummers granted "You haven't many laughs left."

“That's why I'm laughing now- making the most. of life's Jocund mo- ments while they last. But bell me. Summers, you don't believe the Pic:- roon murdered Mrs. Ferrymiiri?"

Summers‘; face knitted with hard thinking. "The Plcnroon isn't. the klrid that goes In for murder. l-Ic has never pulled any violent. stuff tn the put. But. every murderer has to begin some time. You can't. tell what a man will do lf he gela panicky and goes out. of his mind, Whut I'd like to know ls this-if the Picn- roon didn't. kill Mra. Ferryirisn, how dld he know where the rope of pesrls was hidden?"

"You might ask him the next time you see him," Dllc lightly suggested.

"I'm asking him now," asld Sum- mers pointedly.

Dale merely smiled serenely. A lit.- tle pause came. “Well, what about Axelson?"

"I—don't know. ff a man ever looked gulltly. Axelaon certainly look- ed thst way for a moment last night. I tried to question him afterward, but- he-"

Summers ‘shrugged. "Here's am, other lime thing that punlcs mo. Why dld the Plcdroon chnngg hl-s card?”

"It's a pom, Summers. But. watt.- I have an ides. It's lust. possible that when the Picoroon took the pearl: he didn't know they were Ibrryrnsn’: property!’

"Eh?" The csptaln gasped. "What ktrid of rot are you talking? Why wouldn't he know? I-Ie took them of! Mrs. Rffymln’: neck, didn't he? MIYWIY. why should ti: make any dif-

you wouldn't. bu so

ference to ‘Plcsroori who trial pearls belonged to? I don't. sec-but you ought t0 know. Dale."

"No, frankly. I don't. It was it!" : fugitive thought."

Summers gazed nt him, his brow puckerlng. “You're p deepcne, Dale- Csn‘t make you out." '

"Oh. it's ‘ ,‘ . The qulckést wlv u. utabllah I reputation for Pm" fundlty Ls to talk drivel with a mii" terloua air."

"11 people can't understand you they are sure you are n sqnhw W"!- too bad you missed your chance last night. old top. You hld the Plcaroon 1n a corner, wini the pelrl! in h“ pocket. If you had only mussed hlm up a. bit, stripped him of h): fill-i! guise, theri the mystery of his identity would now be solved, But it’: to: late now, of course." 5

"The mystery ls solved, as far IS l am concerned," said Summers posi- tlvely. '

"so you think. but where ls your proof?" ' l

Summers merely squared his l!" and gave his companion n black look. A waiter appeared and pIMIOd s plflli- ‘ age in front. of him. l

"For you, air. It csmo by mes- senger."

Summers gaud narrowly at the package. That ll: should have been addressed to him here was not par- ticularly strange, since he often took his luncheon at this eatnbllshn-ienz. Slowly he loosened the string and unit-rapped the parcel. A small sheet of paper- fluttered out. He read the typewritten lines:

My Dear Captain Summers-You are at liberty to claim full credit f0‘! the recovery of the inclosed srtlcu: I trust. Mr. Ferryman, your superiors in the police department and the newspapers will duly appreciate brilliant detective work, and that this appreciation may partly corisol you for the disappointment. you suffered last. night. ‘

THE PICABDON

‘ The captain stared at the note ii moment longer, then at: Dale. l-Iaatlly he unwrapped somethlngfnclosed la tissue paper.

"Ths Ferryman pearls!" he ex- clshried.

"Of all things!" sold Dale.

Quickly Summers put the pearls back 1n the wrapping and slipped them into his pocket, He picked up the note again and glared at It. .

"Full credit! Duly lppreciat/ed your brilliant detective work!" He tore the note. “Isn't. he a sarcastic cuss? Monumental gall. Ls what. I call it and nothing less."

"You're hard to please, old growler. Try one of these cigars. You are doing the Plcsroon an lnjustce, I-lc is merely trying to rub soothing oint- ment into your wounded pride."

“Soothing ointment?" Summe a snorted. “Vinegar?”

"Maybe he made n. mistake and grabbed the wrorig_ bottle. We all make mistakes. How is the cigar!"

"Not bad," Summers, hla fl-cc dark and flushed, studied the label. “A Verona, I see, By the way, thanks for the box you sent. me. I Ilka your taste, Dale." He puffed apprecia- tlvcly. his bad humor- gradually leav- ing him. "Tell mo this. Why in dsrnatlon should the Plcaroon lo to the trouble o! ateiillrig a. bunch of pearls and then hand them DICK? Where's the sense in that?"

Dale appeared to reflect. A lttlc smile tugged at hla lips. "It's some little riddle, isn't. it? I don't. know, unless 1b-—"

He paused,

"Well?"

"It's just possible my little theory was correct-that. the Plcaroon didn't know the pearls belonged to Ferry- man when he stole them."

Summerspondered heavily. In the end he shook his head. “It's too deep for me." he confessed. He fixed his small, gritty eyes on Dsle. “But you ought. to know."

Dale paid the check and rose. “You will live and learn, Summers.

With that he walked slrlly awn the picture of s carefree Ind ens" going soul whose life had been Cl. to s bright. pattern. But outside, as he swung downpthe aldewalkysomc of hls Jsuntlnesa suddenly deserted him. '
